Hello.
SInce I moved to NYC 5 years ago I have watched many, many episodes of
Theater Talk. I am essentially writing to let you know exactly why you
have lost me as a viewer permanently. Given the tone and commentary of
your shows, I do not understand why the people on your panel have
decided to make their careers in the Theatre….from what I can glean
they must LOATHE everything about it. I just watched a panel of
Micheal Riedel, Jesse Green, Micheal Musto, Patrick Pacheco, and Susan
Haskins break down the Spring Shows coming to Broadway and essentially
disparage every one of them. Susan and Patrick had a few nice things
to say, but for the most part I am led to believe that everything that
will open this Spring will be lousy , embarrassing, and not worth
seeing. Is this how you feel about theater? Mr. Riedel has made his
career salivating over anything that might be considered a failure to
the extent that I believe he must actually hope that nothing is ever
good again. I am an actor and I am fully aware that many things do not
reach the level of art in the commercial theater but I refuse to
believe that all of the artists who are rehearsing, designing,
writing, studying and working their asses off right now deserve the
treatment given by this lack of respect. If you see the piece and do
not think highly of it I can understand giving your point of
view…but these shows have yet to be presented and you have already
marked them off as junk. Shame on you….if you despise it this much,
perhaps you should do something else with your life.
I do not for an instant think that you care about my response…but I
wanted to have my say. I will not be watching your programs any more.
You may not wish for the theater community to succeed, but I have
wanted nothing in my life so much as to make a living as a performer
in this city. For that reason and for the countless artists like
myself who feel likewise, I am keeping my fingers crossed that this
Spring will be one full of victory for theater in NYC.

It’s disgusting to watch four self absorbed queers condescend to what isone of the most historic moments in American music history created by fouriconic American musicians, whose work and legacy influences music around theworld to this day. These pathetic fags will never come remotely close tocreating and contributing the ineffable body of outstanding and historic workcreated by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis, whosework changed music forever and is honored by the finest musicians around theworld to this day. You shouldsicken yourself, because you sure sicken me. T. Foley
